Breastfeeding weaning help! Did your husband help you wean your baby/toddler? How do you single moms wean with no help??

Are the others up a lot? Surely the solution should be that you swap, you listen out for the older ones while he takes care of the younger? He doesn't work 7 days a week I assume. It's your body and your choice if you're ready to stop breastfeeding, sounds like he just likes it as an easy option so he doesn't have to do as much. If you can't have a serious discussion and get on the same page then you definitely can do this alone. I would personally start by trying to drop the day feeds. Show that you aren't going to give in but offer him comfort- maybe he can cuddle into them, maybe a cup of milk, try redirecting. I understand that he kicks off but if you give him what he wants you're teaching him to keep doing it. You could also try saying yes but 2 mins each side, then 1 min, so on, to get him used to less before none, and again offering cuddles. It's not harmful if he keeps crying if you're there for comfort. Could you try getting him used to his own bed for a little while whilst still breastfeeding?

I would also look into some tactics to help with the tantrums- find a parenting book that you like (I recommend it how to talk so little kids will listen) and be prepared with a bunch of things to try to help work through his feelings together. There are also a few books you could read with him about finishing breastfeeding. He's old enough to understand if you explain your milk is running out soon and you've loved having all the cuddles and special time with him but now it's time for that to come to an end. Good luck, I was ready to stop after 2 years, can't imagine having done it for 7 😫 you've done an amazing job, now go get your boobs back you deserve it!!

We weaned shortly after his third birthday, I bought the book Booby Moon & spoke about it for a couple weeks leading up to the big night. Then we “put it in a balloon” (the milk lol) & released it up to the moon so that other newborns who needed it could have it. I heard good things about that book & he was old enough to understand the concept so it worked really well for us 🥰 my partner didn’t really need to help as he was fine with it being gone & up with the moon. Before this though he was veryyy resistant to giving it up so I’m glad we finally found something that clicked
